New York Has Nine Starbucks for Every Square Mile in Manhattan

At least in New York, there seems to be a Starbucks on every corner. While that’s a bit of an exaggeration, the chain has seen rapid growth, putting it in the ranks of McDonald’s as far as nationwide chains go.

At last count, there are approximately nine Starbucks per square mile on the island of Manhattan. There are 20,439 locations world-wide, both co-operated and licensed, 11,743 of which are in the U.S. For some coffee-chain context, that’s more Starbucks locations than either 7-Elevens or Dunkin’ Donuts, but fewer than the number of McDonald’s locations.
